Have you ever sent a message to someone that you later regretted? Perhaps you sent it by accident before you were done writing it, or changed your mind and no longer want to say what you were going to say. If so, then you are likely looking for how to delete TikTok messages.
The good news is that you can delete TikTok messages for both you and the person you sent the message to if you act quickly. This follows a trend in other social media apps that allow this privacy-enhancing option. Once you have deleted a TikTok message, it will be gone for good for both the sender and receiver.
Steps for How to Delete TikTok Messages
If you want to delete TikTok messages you sent to someone, follow these steps:
- Ouvrez l'application TikTok sur votre appareil
- Tap on the Inbox icon to get into your DMs
- Tap on the DM conversation containing the messages you would like to remove
- Tap and hold the message you want to get rid of
- Appuyez sur Supprimer to complete the removal
Note: The messages you delete will not necessarily be possible to be removed in every case. If you have just sent a message then you are more likely to be able to delete it for everyone. However, if more time has elapsed, or the recipient has seen your message, TikTok may not allow you to remove the message on both sides of the conversation.
How to Delete an Entire TikTok Conversation
Now that you know how to delete TikTok messages, you may also want to understand how to delete an entire conversation. Instead of following the steps above for every single message, you can remove the entire DM conversation at once. Simply do the following:
- Ouvrez l'application TikTok sur votre appareil
- Tap on the Inbox icon to gain access to your DM inbox
- Tap and hold the conversation you want to get rid of
- Appuyez sur Supprimer when prompted to do so
After following these steps, you will have deleted the entire conversation.
Conclusion
Whether you have instant regret about something you said to someone, accidentally send a message before you were ready to send it, or something else, you can delete your sent TikTok messages. However, you will only be able to do so for both sides if you act fast. Otherwise, your messages will only be deleted on your end.
